The artist did four copies of this. I believe the original is oil on canvas. The second and third are oil and tempera and pastel on cardboard. The fourth is a lithograph.

Above answer is the version in National Gallery, Oslo: The Scream 1893 Oil, tempera and pastel on cardboard 91 x 73.5 cm National Gallery, Oslo (source: www.artchive.com/artchive/M/munch/scream.jpg.html )
However, you could always mention that Munch made more than fifty variations of the same composition in different media. I don't have a source for that piece of info, just know it. Good luck with the coursework.
